Re: Cannon C60ETX
If the board come programed the you do not have a problem.
If the board is not programed then you have the problem of programming it.
The main circuit board is a common problem on this model and is easy to replace.

Re: Thanks to the bank
There are lots of reasons the oven glass can shatter. The glass being faulty is not one of them.
It can be down to a faulty door or misuse.
Do you keep a towel over the oven handle ?.
Did the glass break when you opened the door or did it just shatter with no one nearby.
In the help section is a list of possible reasons a door glass can break.

Re: beko fridge freezer cda539fw
If the fridge rear wall inside the fridge is freezing evenly at the back and you have replaced the PCB.
The fault will be the sensor that is foamed in not a simple DIY job as you have to cut into the insulation.
If the fridge rear wall is freezing near the top and not evenly then it will be the compressor or a refrigerant fault also not a DIY job.

Re: Running a fridgecompresor w/o gas in
With R600a Compressors if there is no gas pressure in the system the compressor then starts to pump oil around the system leading to the risk of a blockage.
Once again why would you run a compressor that is designed to pump refrigerant without refrigerant in the system.
The correct way is to presure test the system with OFN to test for leaks,
Then you vac the system down then you equalise the pressure, then you vacuum the system down again.
You then weigh in the correct amount of refrigerant if you have fitted a new compressor.
If you are just repairing a leak the old compressor will hold approx 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of R600a in the compressor oil, so you weigh in the correct amount of R600a less 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}.
Then you run the compressor.
Always check the compressor is then running at the correct pressure with the gauges after a Regas as the Weight of gas on the rating plate is only a guide.
Do not forget you should always fit a new filter/dryer when fitting a new compressor or a Regas unless you use a line tape valve without allowing air into the system.
I use a line tap valve to check a compressor sealed system first then if it has a leak I repair the leak and fit a more permanent schrader valve.
BobRe: Running a fridgecompresor w/o gas in
It is ok under F Gas rules to repair R600a systems as long as it is sealed by the manufacturer, as you can safely assume it is R600a in the system.
Once the system has been broken into or you have replaced the compressor if you go back to the job for any reason you are not allowed to work on the system.
There logic behind it is if you have left the property then you cannot guarantee someone else has not tampered with the system, and used the wrong gas and that gas may contain CFC’s.
And if it is R134a or another refrigerant you are not allowed to work on the systems.
New rules will be coming into force shortly by F Gas to include R600a systems even though there are no Ozone Depleating CFC’s
I am F Gas registered and get a monthly bulletin from them of all the updates and you would be amazed by how many company,s F Gas had closed down last year.
All the Company,s were COMERCIAL but I wonder how long it will be before they start to pick on the Domestic company,s.
BobRe: Running a fridgecompresor w/o gas in
You need to be F gas registered to work on systems now.
Running a compressor without gas can lead to oil being pumped around the system and causing a blockage in the system.
If the compressor is not in a sealed system you will also pump air around the system.
Why would you need to run a compressor without gas in the system?.
There is know circumstances in the repair process to run a compressor without refrigerant in the system.

Re: FZA50 Hotpoint future freezer, bottom drawer built up of
If you get the same problem again it would be worth checking above the compressor drain tray at the back of the fridge to see if the rubber non return valve is sticking.
You can take it off and throw it away or trim it with a pair of scissors to stop it sticking together.

Re: hotpoint ff 200 E fridge light wont work
The light is controlled by a magnet at the top of the fridge door.
This operates a sensor on the PCB so if the bulb is ok it may be a PCB fault.
If you turn it off on the mains for 10 mins then turn it back on if the light lights up then it will be the magnet missing or the door has Dropped, so it does not operate the sensor, as the sensor cuts the power if the door is left open too long.

Re: Samsung fridge freezer model RSG5DUMH tripping RCD
You will need an engineer to check and replace it.

Re: Samsung fridge freezer model RSG5DUMH tripping RCD
The most likely fault is the defrost heater in the fridge compartment.

Re: FZA50 Hotpoint future freezer, bottom drawer built up of
The drain for the auto defrost will be blocked,
Ask someone to look after your food for you and turn it off for 48 hours and leave the doors open.
This should defrost the drain and cure the problem when you turn it back on.
If you get the same problem in a few weeks then you will need to get an engineer out as you will have a fault with the defrost system.
